Study Notes
Common Chronic Diseases and Their Burden
- Examples of common chronic diseases include Addison's disease, asthma, bipolar mood disorder, cardiac failure, chronic kidney disease, Crohn's disease, diabetes mellitus, epilepsy, glaucoma, hypertension, hypothyroidism, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, and ulcerative colitis.
- The burden of chronic diseases globally is significant, leading to disability and death, impacting individuals and society, affecting quality of life, and causing financial strain on those affected.
- In the USA, as of 2012, approximately 117 million adults had one or more chronic health conditions, with heart disease and cancer accounting for nearly 48% of all deaths.
- Arthritis is the leading cause of disability, affecting 53 million people, while diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among adults.
- In Saudi Arabia, common chronic disease risk factors include elevated BMI, dietary risks, elevated blood glucose, elevated blood pressure, physical inactivity, and smoking.
- Major causes of death in Saudi Arabia related to chronic diseases include cerebrovascular diseases, ischemic heart diseases, vehicle motor injuries, chronic kidney diseases, diabetes mellitus, and hypertensive heart diseases.
- Chronic diseases develop due to a combination of behavioral and environmental exposures to risk factors.
- Modifiable risk factors such as unhealthy diet, physical inactivity, and smoking contribute to the development of chronic diseases.
- Adopting healthy lifestyle practices, such as a balanced diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding tobacco use, can prevent or control the onset of chronic diseases.
- Health risk behaviors, including lack of exercise, poor nutrition, tobacco use, and excessive alcohol consumption, can be changed to reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
- Prevention through early detection, clinical preventive services, primary prevention (risk reduction), secondary prevention (detecting and treating pre-clinical changes), and tertiary prevention (reducing disease impact) is effective in mitigating the effects of chronic conditions.
- Positive health outcomes for chronic illness require effective treatments, patient adherence, and coaching in health behavior change, which involves guiding and prompting patients to be active participants in their own behavior change processes.
